<p>libtorrent is a C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the
other bittorrent implementations around. It is a
library and not a full featured client, although it comes with a working
<a class="reference" href="client_test.html">example client</a>.</p>
<p>The main goals of libtorrent are:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>to be cpu efficient</li>
<li>to be memory efficient</li>
<li>to be very easy to use</li>
</ul>
